Hum... Fear 2 was a Steamworks game if I am correct. Is it the same for this one?

Yes.
Fear 2 was one of the first big 3rd party games that required Steam and had really shitty integration. As in no extras, Steam was just DRM. Fthreear has the whole package - achievements, cloud, leaderboards, coop.

I think GFWL vs the enjoyment I got out of the game, then the couple of times the game had to restart because of GFWL updates, only at first, is well worth it. In the ~18h I sank into the game I had no more problems with it, once I start the game it loads and that's it. So for €9.50 (with IGN discount) it's well worth the price, IMO :)
